    Can a wounded deer be dispatched

    With a firearm if it is hung in a fence and close to death?

    No. Cut its throat.

      Not sure the letter of the law on that one but I am inclined to do the right thing at the time. Just no need to advertise it anywhere.

        You’ll find out real quick if your edge is up for the task. And do it in front of kids too, the air rush will stay with them for life if you saw through the esophagus instead of bleeding it out.

          Absolutely, I've seen it done before. I don't know if it's legal, nor do I care. Sometimes you just do the right thing and don't tell anyone.

            Yes, cause nobody will ever know.

              If you are not tagging it, cleaning it and processing, then you should be ok.

              .....and God Bless America.

                  Call Game Warden FIRST.

                  They'll usually give you the OK.

                    Nope not legally, but I’d done it before with prior permission from the GW.

                      As said above,
                      GET GW APPROVAL!
                      No need having one ticket you after the fact because technically they should....

                        NOT legal without GW approval unless you plan to tag and even then it could be illegal depending on where you were when you shot it (IE; standing in a public road)!

                          Just shoot it. There's no way I'd call a game warden to get permission.

                            I’ve done it before... that being said it was a doe dawn and the end of the year so I tagged it.

                              I have dispatched a Doe before on a Private Property Cross Fence that was on our Deer lease during the General Deer Season. I tagged it with a tag off my License and processed it like normal. It could be a little tricky if it was on someone else's Place, on a Public Road or Right of way or not during the general season. I would have to consult with the GW in that case.
